Then the post asks a myriad of questions such as “Now to figure out who will cook and feed my children,” “will get them to school on time” and “will pick out clothes for our youngest to wear.”

At the end of the post, he simply puts “Who is going to do all that stuff while their mom is away?”

Then writes, “Me. That's who. Because I'm not the babysitter. I'm not just their playmate.I'm their dad. And looking after them and guiding them and caring for them is my responsibility.

And I love it - with all of its challenges.”

One person commented, “Kudos to you Dad! There are NOT many father's out there that would even consider giving this type of "fatherhood" a try because in their minds they get that instant "I can't do this on my own".....therefore that is where the Nanny or Babysitter's come about. “

Another commented, “You completely rock and are truly a wonderful new age man.”
